In his youth, Ruben moved to the United States, where he established his home in Chelsea, Massachusetts. For the past 30 years, Chelsea was where he not only resided, but where he worked at State Garden Inc. since 1995. He raised his youngest daughter Aura in Chelsea, and was a present father to his eldest daughter Yoselin, who lived in Honduras while he worked in the United States. Ruben devoted himself to his family, cherishing every moment spent with them, and worked diligently as a machine operator.
An ardent soccer enthusiast, Ruben was a passionate supporter of FC Barcelona, often sharing his love for the sport with friends and family. He was a man of great spirit, whose love for home and community resonated in everything he did.
Ruben is preceded in death by his parents, Ruben Flores and Francisca Mayen. He leaves behind a legacy of love as the devoted father of Aura Flores-Canelas and Yoselin Flores-Urtecho, who is married to Amilcar Rivas. He was a proud grandfather to Yahir Rivas.
